joining us now, senior adviser to donald trump, jason miller. n, good to have you back on the show. thanks for being here. let's start briefly on pete hegseth. but i also want to talk to you about the special counsel news and some other things today for pete hegseth nomination. is there something to hide in the fbi report that senate democrats on the committee shouldn't see this report not at all. >> and in fact, that's why both the chairman of the senate armed services committee and the ranking member have had the opportunity to review that file. that is the historical norm for the chairman and the ranking member to take a look at that. i don't know why democrats want to go and try to change the rules all of a sudden, just because it's one of president trump's nominees. but i would have to say, chairman suggest he might be okay with it. >> that's been our reporting. our reporting has been that roger wicker had suggested, hey, it's okay if democrats see this, but it was the trump team that doesn't want it out there. >> the historical norm is that

jason miller joins us today.e's greatest challenge today when he sits down for three or four hours. >> i don't see it so much as a challenge but an opportunity to restoring that warrior ethos back into the military. >> this is a man president trump ran and won on and received 77 million votes. 312 electoral votes and the majority of the popular vote. and the fact that we have to get our military focused back on defending this country. there was a study that came out, brian, in july from commission on national defense strategy that said the united states is not prepared for a major conflict right now. that's what has happened over the last four years under joe biden. we have to get our military away from the woke nonsense. away from playing politics and back to focused on defending our country and defending americans. >> brian: jason, i know for a fact how much great work you did behind the scenes with all the candidates and with president trump and vice president vance when he was the nominee to get them ready fo

rachel: senior adviser to president-elect trump jason miller joins us now. nd happy new year. how have the tragic event events of new year's eve affected maybe the calculus in the senate for confirming especially these national security nominees? >> i think it heightens the importance of getting these picks confirmed asap. not only do we have national security positions, we have law enforcement positions whether that be attorney general or kash patel for fbi, but also we have critical infrastructure as well. think about the disasters we've had on the transportation front in recent years during the biden administration. we need to not only put in president trump's people so we can implement this change, but we need to restore confidence in our basic levels of government whether that's national security, law enforcement or critical infrastructure. we cannot have any more lapses. president trump has picked some fantastic people, and the american people voted for him to the put the adults back in charge. we need them babb on day one -- back on day one. rachel: on

another thing that jason miller told jon scott last night that i thought was interesting, one of theignificance is because he can -- good position is because he can go back to the policies that were undone by the stupid keck test executive ordee biden and you deal with the border and oil and gas. rachel: in california you have groups that will sue and try gum up the system. will: you get the sense they're coming out -- rachel: strong. this is the benefit of having someone that's been through it, knows what he's up against and has beat it before so i love they're super prepped and three times the number of nominees hopefully get through and i think they're ready to hit the ground running. will: i would say we did the segment a little earlier, we had the conversation with bill brown, retired navy seal. watch that tuesday during leg hegseth's confirmation, there will be an outpouring of support from war fighters on the mall in d.c. and sitting behind him in the confirmation hearing, the numbers are approaching over 200 that will be there on the mall and in hearing room. rachel: that's a

what we do know brian had a great interview with jason miller, one of the trump senior advisers a littlego, and he outlined why pete is the right man at this time to lead the pentagon. jason said this. >> petting is going to kill them with kindness. he is a very smart and very telegenic, very presentable leader. there is someone who graduated from princeton and harvard. this is someone who has served on the battlefield who knows what it is like to be shot at. he has led troops in battle. >> this is the type of leader that we need to head the department of defense. we have tried all the so-called experts for years and for decades. now we have someone who has actually been in the line of fire, and i think that's the type of perspective we had. he is really dazzled, i would say, most of the senators that he has met with. his grasp of the issues. his knowledge of the department of defense. his readiness to step in and lead as people believe in pete hegseth. they believe in president trump. let's get the woke out of military and get back to the warrior spirit. >> lawrence: i would just say th

. >> there's one moment in trump tower where jason miller, one of the top communication advisers for trump, comes out of the bullpen of his team and says, we need someone to go in there and just lob questions at rudy to see what he says. everybody scatters. the aide who does get picked goes in behind closed doors and is horrified by what he hears a question about. when is the last time you've traveled to the middle east? that question comes with enough stammering that they have a follow up meeting. the aide asks giuliani, you told me yesterday that you hadn't been to the middle east for a year. are you sure about that? are there any other trips you can remember? giuliani's face goes blank. turns out his secretary had said rudy had just been in the middle east a month ago. >> if you talk to people who were talking to trump at the time, they say he was never seriously considered for it, which is probably more revealing in and of itself, of the dynamic of the relationship between the two of them. >> the relationship between trump and rudy is really a fraught one. it's one where trump re

we actually heard jason miller, one of donald trump's advisors, on kasie hunt show this morning, saying as much, saying that he finds these complaints about the fbi background check process as rich coming from democrats and that essentially they want to try and reform this overall and try to move politics out of it. but i'd also remind you that donald trump has long been very skeptical of this. back during his first administration, there was a lot of different picks that also had troubles getting through with their fbi background checks in a timely manner, and he ended up just having them do these different referrals to have them go through. so this is a problem. he has had before. really, though, trump's team is trying to brush this off and arguing that this is all just complaints that democrats are cooking up. >> and ali, you have actually gone through a federal background check before. what kind of interaction does somebody have with the fbi? >> it's everything. it is a full body mri. if you're a line level prosecutor beginner like i was, they want to know everything about your famil

we'll get reaction from steven miller next on this special edition of "hannity." >> jason: welcome backthis special edition of "hannity." yesterday, president trump announced a victory rally in washington d.c. at the capitol one arena on inauguration eve. that's going to be one to see. but as the president-elect prepares to take office, joe biden is working overtime to sabotage trump's agenda. starting with the desperate ploy to curb domestic energy production by permanently banning offshore drilling in some u.s. waters. last week, a federal judge ordered the biden administration to stop selling off-border wall materials. here with reaction incoming white house deputy chief-of-staff for policy stephen miller. i appreciate your time. joe biden put a good face. said he would cooperate with the trump administration. some of these actions, doesn't look like he's paving wait to allow the next president, who was elected overwhelmingly, to actually be able to do what he has a mandate to do. >> yes, let's talk about the energy issue, jason, which is so central to the election and the economic f

outfront now, former fbi special agent jason pack, chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst john miller, and national security expert jameel jaffer. john, first to you, we heard what officials there said that they are also investigating that explosion outside trump's hotel in las vegas. the cyber truck that was rented by turo, which is the same site used to rent the truck involved in the new orleans crash. what's your takeaway here on that? >> well, first you have to consider the imagery. right here is a trump property with an elon musk product, the cybertruck. his most famous iconic product right now, where it rolls up right to the trump sign and detonates. so someone behind this attack did a good deal of planning to obtain all of those explosives, all of those mortar shells, all of those accelerants, and put this together, thinking that that was the imagery that they wanted to create. so there's a message there. now we go to the coincidences, which is the truck is rented from turo, which is the same company that rented the truck that was used in las vegas. the individual i can report
